Slow freezing verses vitrification

Freezing by vitrification method gains popularity these days, as it claims more promising result for freezing embryos at any stage. Vitrification does not require specialized instruments. It is very quick method for freezing and prevents ice formation during freezing and warming.

Ovarian stem

It is proven that at certain age woman’s ovaries stop working and she cannot be a mother further.

PRP in plantar fasciitis

Autologus PRP with its higher concentration of growth factor can promote healing and thus it is consider as one of the promising therapy in planter fasciitis, a one of the degenerative chronic tendinopathy. A study performed by researchers of NIMS medical collage.

3 D printed stem cells

The whole new frontier is going open in the field of regenerative medicine in future with invention of 3 D printer, which able to make artificial live tissues in vitro using stem cells, scaffold and latest technology of bioprinter. Currently this technology is focusing on making tissues for testing of efficacy and safety of drugs but in future same can be use to make organs using autologus adult stem cells.
